B G (ID: 000000c67c0de612) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/02/2024 Used to work really well, but now it just... doesn't work. It stops checking. I went over to the studies page and noticed a study there, but no notification... because it had stopped checking at 8 AM, over 12 hours ago. 5/2/24 - It hasn't worked in weeks and it doesn't look like they're going to fix it anytime soon.

jenn howe (ID: 0000005785626b60) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/20/2023 This only sends me studies that are full. It sends me the info on high paying studies but then I NEVER can do them. It is not a good extension

Claudia (ID: 0000007785f37f39) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/11/2023 It always gives you notifications AFTER all the spots have filled up for a task. I think it's only been ontime 1-2 times in the past 20 odd tasks. It doesn't make it a very useful notification. I also find it's not of any use to give you notifications of tasks that have already passed. Sometimes I get notifications of lots of tasks popping up, but then it was sent a few hours ago as per my mailbox notifications. e.g i get an email notification saying there's a new task at 3am, but at 1pm the next day i'll get a notification for that exact task that has already expired/completed. Also the payment is not per the notification. Some tasks will be a $x - $xx range, and it gives you the top $xx range as the notification, but you are likely to only be paid the lower $x amount.

Raquel Francés (ID: 000000cb16829b4f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/24/2023 Funciona fatal, cuando avisa de un nuevo estudio nunca hay plazas libres. Deberían revisar el tiempo de actualización

Brett Skaife (ID: 000000286ee85bb9) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 the "Reward - ____" section is very misleading. most of the time it's using the pay/hour instead of the actual reward.
